In this inspiring episode of The More Than Just A Doctor Podcast, I had the pleasure of sitting down with a dear friend and fellow physician to delve into a topic that's close to both our hearts - the pursuit of having it all. Join us for a candid conversation as we explore the notion that "You Can Have It All," and how your definition of 'all' may be entirely unique from someone else's.

Dr. Judith Borger and I share our personal journeys and experiences, delving into the challenges and triumphs of balancing a successful medical career with a fulfilling personal life. We discuss the often elusive concept of work-life balance and how it can evolve throughout our lives and careers.

Throughout this episode, you'll discover:

🌟 The power of setting your own definitions for what “having it all” means to you

🌟 Strategies for saying no to tasks that don’t fill your cup, and creating space for those that do

🌟 How to overcome societal expectations and pave your own path to happiness

🌟 The revelation that having it all isn't about piling on more responsibilities; rather, it's often about purposefully subtracting or delegating out the things you dislike, allowing you to truly love the life you have.

Tune in to this conversation and explore the possibilities of creating a life that aligns with your unique values and aspirations. Whether you're a fellow physician, a healthcare professional, or anyone striving for balance and fulfillment in your life, this episode offers valuable insights and real-world wisdom. It's time to start living a life that reflects your vision of 'all.'

I'm delving into a topic that's close to my heart and is a game-changer in the way we view life. I recently had a chat with my dad about my coaching business, and his innocent comment got me thinking. He said, 'I wouldn't think doctors would have any problems,' and I couldn't help but chuckle. No matter who we are, life has its ups and downs.

So, here's the scoop: Life is 50/50. This beautiful concept, courtesy of the amazing Brooke Castillo from the Life Coach School, reminds us that our journey is meant to be a balanced mix of experiences. It's not about strict math, but a wonderful shorthand for understanding that life is an exquisite blend of joy and challenges, pain and happiness, and everything in between. I'm here to share the real essence of this philosophy with you. It's about embracing the full spectrum of life's adventures.

For us, it's not just a catchphrase; it's a guiding principle that helps us navigate the unpredictable waves of life. Join me in this cozy chat as we explore why 'Life is 50/50' is more than just words. We'll dive into the richness of the human experience and how accepting this balance can transform the way we live. So grab a cup of your favorite beverage, cozy up, and tune in!

Hey there! Welcome to Episode 22 of "More Than Just a Doctor." I'm your host, Lil Surprenant MD, and today, we're diving headfirst into a topic that's close to my heart: the power of words, not just in medicine but in life, too.

So, here's the deal – you know those cliché words and phrases we hear all the time, like "journey" and "service heart"? Well, I've got some thoughts on those, and let's just say, I'm not their biggest fan. But that's okay because in this episode, we're going to explore a whole new world of language. I'll share my personal take on language, and it's all about keeping it practical, flexing those linguistic muscles, and finding genuine interest in what we do. Whether you're at the hospital or tackling life's adventures, the words you choose can shape your day, and I'm here to show you how.

I invite you to join the conversation. I'd love to hear about the workplace words that make your skin crawl or the ones that light up your day. So, if you're ready for a new take on "watching your language" by adding a bit of linguistic magic, don't miss out on this friendly chat. Grab a coffee, kick back, and let's dive right in!

Tired? Stressed? You know the feeling when everything sounds like a big deal? Like it’s really hard? Me too. I address exactly that in this week’s podcast episode. You know you need to cut some stuff off your calendar, off your list… (but it’s HARD! I WANT to do those things!). This week I talk about evaluating and a process for cutting out things you want to do when you’re feeling like it’s all too much. Constraint. But how??? I’ll go through this quick process in this episode. Tune in and learn how to evaluate your plans (even your Imaginary Plans). Decide now. Don’t let rumination sap your energy. Remind yourself what you are choosing instead…space, rest, peace. You’ve got this! p.s. Too overwhelmed to even start the pruning process alone? I’ve got you. Schedule a free consult where we talk about all the things and dig in to your real priorities. I coach physicians one one to create a life they love, one decision at a time.

In this empowering episode of The More than Just a Doctor Podcast, we dive into the art of embracing your authentic self and owning what you truly like. As a life coach for physicians, practicing hospitalist, wife, mom of two boys, reader, dancer, and dolphin enthusiast, I believe that you are more than just a doctor, and your interests outside of work are what make life rich and fulfilling.

Join me as I share my personal journey and insights, inspired by Samantha Irby's hilariously candid book, "Quietly Hostile," which advocates for unapologetically liking what you like. Discover how being intentional about the things you enjoy can lead to increased satisfaction and genuine happiness in life. I encourage you to give yourself permission to embrace their unique interests and let go of societal expectations. Whether it's finding solace in quiet downtime, expressing a love for raunchy dance classes, collecting vintage glasses, or enjoying a good book, I can’t stress the importance of being true to yourself.

Get ready to be inspired to create a more intentional and fulfilling life by prioritizing the things you love. Tune in to this thought-provoking episode and explore how liking what you like, and disliking what you don't, can lead you to a happier, more authentic version of yourself.
